In my opinion, NEP-18 support is probably out of scope for pandas. But this would totally make sense for a separate mini-project, to make a NumPy compatible wrapper of pandas extension arrays. I see two possible levels of support here: 1. Only 1D data, with NumPy's API. Operations that would produce multi-dimensional data raise an error. 2. Support N-D data, on top of pandas' 1D API. This would make extension arrays more generally useful in Xarray, but some operations might be hard to do efficiently.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,884649380
